Europa Lift/Jack Points

Curious where they are? I've got to get one on a lift to check out the undercarriage, but the bottom is all fiberglass. Anyone know where they are?

Chassic Europa right?

In the front under the suspension pick-up points on the chassis. Do not use the center of the boxed section of the chassis without using a piece of plywood to spread the load. You can also go right behind the front wheel on the rocker, by spreading the load with a wood block.

At the rear, just forward or behind of the wheel on the body, again with a wood block. Or, under the tranny where the lower suspension arms attach.

Cheers,
Kiyoshi

If you go with the body lift points, make it a good sized block of wood, say at least 6" x 6" that will extend under the vertical part of the body at the wheelwells.

And a 2x4 of the appropriate length works well under the front part of the chassis and under the transmission if your jack is low enough, or you drive the car up on a couple of pieces of wood first to get it high enough to get the jack under it.
